UNABASHED Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 slow down a little and you might spot them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo-ninja Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 there was a fantastic bit of kit released in the US recently for your iphone dont remember the name but im sure a google search will find it. It did everything including jamming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill get myself a Robin Relliant then Just cos a car will go fast doesn't mean you have to drive it over the limit... if you are going that fast that you don't spot a mobile camera in time to slow down then maybe it tells you something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNABASHED Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I've been caught speeding but made a mental note to slow down in future, certainly didnt do the exact same thing 3 days later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakseedaa Posted February 16, 2011 Author Share Posted February 16, 2011 As it happens to all, you know all pro drivers the first ticket was in the van so it has nothing to do with being in a fast car. And as you can see from the start of the thread i not interested in your opinions on how i drive only in what people use for spotting the speed traps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It did everything including jamming. Yikes, Don't go down the jamming route, this can lead to a perverting the course of justice charge, far more serious than speeding. The police are using more and more laser devices which can't be detected only jammed. Although I'm pretty strict with myself over speeding I have memorised all the possible locations of every mobile camera in my area, there's about 10 of them and my Nurrish SatNav detects all the fixed ones.

evest Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 A mate of mine runs this: http://www.thesatnavwarehouse.com Unfortunately he gets a lot of customers trying to blame it on him when they subsequently get caught speeding!!! If there is much interest in these systems then I could see if he wants to work out some kind of members discount, etc...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trackpig Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Try cameralert for the iPhone- gps locations of fixed and mobile sites. Don't worry about the comments from the BRAKE members and do gooders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete i could be wrong but i didnt think anyone had be caught jamming and then charged (i thought it was just a threat) also the device is so small i dont beleive they can search your car so you just quickly throw it under the seat and say i dont know what your talking about...dont quote me though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 pretty sure police can search your car if they think your jamming their speed gun - whats to stop them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo-ninja Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 pretty sure police can search your car if they think your jamming their speed gun - whats to stop them? even if they did i doubt they would find anything and if teh search gets too far you say that could it be your parking sensors and remote garage opener...and then im "pretty" sure there is nothing they can do as you are perfectly allowed to have those and certain models of those can interfer. Also tbh unless your going way over the speed limit its probably not worth thier time as they have to provide you with documentation when requested that they have searched your vehical etc.. I could be completely wrong and speaking BS would be interesting for one of the coopers to comment on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo-ninja Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 People can & do get prosecuted & convicted for it. Clicky Interesting, do you know this as fact? or is this what you have heard. As everywhere i have read basically says they try to scare you but as soon as you start to put up a fight then it all goes away. As "perverting the course of justice" is not meant to be used on such menial things like this, and by all accounts cant just be used on its own. But as i have said i am by no means knowledgble on this, I only know what i have read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Yes, several prosecutions, the first one was in Cumbria, 2004. If you do get charged with PCJ then I'm guessing that you're likely to have your fingerprints and DNA taken as its a criminal offence. If you're convicted then you'll have a criminal record and it'll show up if you ever need a CRB check. http://uk.churchill.com/news/article063.htm Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harman350z Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Funny you should post that, a friend of mine was caught on the same section of road as in that link you posted 'Acle Road towards Great Yarmouth'. Using a Laser Jammer the police were unable to get a reading on his car so in court the prosecution agreed to drop a second charge of exceeding the 70mph speed limit, but having to lay down some law they gave him a 30 day ban for obstruction of a police officer.
